I'm new to RO CSVI (V 8.2.0) and try to import content (articles) as described here:

A. https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/joomla-content/joomla-content-import

and

B. https://rolandd.com/documentation/ro-csvi/i-want-to-import-articles-with-images

I ran into two problems:

1. Article title with dash

When I use the import file format mentioned on A.

title,alias,category_path,state,introtext
Random article,random-article,news/local-news,1,<p><a>A random site</a></p>

I see in the import preview that everything is fine, but when the import has finished not only the alias has dashes between words but also the title (in the preview everything looks ok).

2. Image import does not work

2.1 In the import template under "image" I filled in the field "Location image files" (1 image uploaded before in the directory mentioned here, asuming that the same image is used for each article to import)

2.2 under "template fields" I added "image_intro" and "image_fulltext" as mentioned under B. and added an image path.

But no image is added to the importet articles.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

Best regards

Hello,
although I didn't specify a folder like this - its the complete file path inclusive file name.

You have set Location image files as images/EnergyTransition in your template and that is used along with server root path /var/www/vhosts/numberland.com/httpdocs/ and then image name. So complete path would be /var/www/vhosts/numberland.com/httpdocs/images/EnergyTransition/EnergyTransition.jpg.

1. uploaded image to specific directory.


If the image is on your server in a specific directory then you don't need http path, you can simply use image name for image_intro field. You don't need to set Save images on server to Yes. Since you have your image on your local server you just have to link the image to the article. So you can use image like example


title,alias,category_path,state,introtext,image_intro
Random article,random-article,news/local-news,1,<p><a>A random site</a></p>,EnergyTransition.jpg


2. in import file: specified the directory from 1. (with http path as in your example, not with file system path)

I see the confusion from our example, the example content shows remote URL for image but in the screenshot Save images on server is set to No. I have modified the document on the image and Save image to server setting. Please check the document and also I want to import Joomla articles document which explains on each tab and settings on each tab.

3.1 "Process images: yes", "save image on server: yes"
3.2. "Process images: yes", "save image on server: no"
3.3 "Process images: no"

Since you are not importing remote URL image, use "Process images: yes", "save image on server: no" in your template.
Kind regards,

Hello,
We would need import debug log and template XML to check on both of these issues. Please check How to collect debug information? document to get the import debug log. To get the template XML file, in RO CSVI maintenance menu select RO CSVI on first option, backup templates on second option, select the import template and download the XML file. Post the XML file.
Kind regards,

Tharuna

Please find the debug log as attachment.

When I follow your instruction to get the XML file, select RO CSVI, Backup templates, select import template and press "continue" in the upper left, I get a html file downloaded. Is that, what you want to get?

Hello,
Thank you for the debug log. I was able to find the cause for issues from debug log so there is no need for template XML file.

1. For title having dashes, remove article_page_title field use title field in template fields.
2. For image not saving issue, since you are importing remote image, In import template settings on Image tab set Save images on server to Yes(See attached screenshot) with this setting RO CSVI will download the image to the location set in Location image files and link it to the article.

If you still have problem then post the latest debug log to check.

Article title works well now, thanks a lot.

But images still doesn't work.

What I did:

1. uploaded image to specific directory.

2. in import file: specified the directory from 1. (with http path as in your example, not with file system path)

3. in import template under image: "Location image files": specified the directory from 1.

3.1 "Process images: yes", "save image on server: yes"
3.2. "Process images: yes", "save image on server: no"
3.3 "Process images: no"

When the import is processed I get the following error message:

Incorrect Failure Folder location not found /var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/images/EnergyTransition/EnergyTransition.jpg

although I didn't specify a folder like this - its the complete file path inclusive file name.

debug log is attached as before (for version 3.1).
